After some farther discussion the

When the committee on constitution

1t is generally conceded that no town
in Kansas has got the art of booming
down as fine as Wichita. The follow.
ing paragraph from the Atchison
Champion tells how it was done:
The writer heard Col. Murdoch tell, quietly
Eagle, aud It was the story Of Wichita. He be.
gan its publication when Wichita was small
village, and from that day to the present he
had never, he said. solicited an advertisement
1.-The people of Wichita had kept the columns
of the Eagle crowded with advertisements, at
the best rates without solicitation. When
ever he published q ''bOOm'' article, every
them broadcast over the east. So the Eagle
has been able, always, to present Wichita in
the best: light,s and whatever 1t said about
the distribution made by the people. This city
/ of the Arkansas Valley has fairly won the tri-
unph she has achieyed-wOn 1t by the enter
prise and energy of its aggressive people won
| known In any community; won it by standing
| up for and defending everything Wichita has;
won it by sustaining its newspapers generous
| ly, and helping them to spread broadcast the
news of Witchita's growth; aud, above all,
wen 1t by sitting down, hard and suddenly, on
everybody who deprecated Wichita's things,
ger, endeavored to prevent or discourage any
one from doing any thing that would add to
Wichita's development or prosperity.
L. L. Carter is introducing "Yaggy's
Anatomical Study" into the schools of
the county. This work is especially
designated to aid in teaching physiol-
ogy with or without text book; and for
pupils of all ages. 1t presents the
skeleton, muscles, arteries, veins and
nerves, also four life size manikins of
the body ear, eye and head. In ad-
dition there are plates illustrating blood
formation, its publication and circula-
ton, and the effects of alcohol and
narcotics on the human system. Dis
sections of the manikins can be made
which show the exact shape, size and
colors of all the organs. The work
is very complete and accurate and is
well worth the price asked to any
school.
We acknowledge, with many thanks
for the courtesy, cordial invitation
to be present at the G. A. r. entertain
ment at Humboldt tomorrow. The
Department Commander will be pres
ent and deliver an address, as will also
Hon. f. H. Funston and other distin-
guished gentlemen. A supper will be
served at 5 o'clock and there will be q
campfire in the. evening. McCOok
Post will attend in body and there
will doubtless be a large crowd present
as the railroad fare is reduced to 9
cents a mile. The program COM
mences at 2 o'clock and the lola party
will go down on the 1:4l freight to
which passenger coaches will be at
tached.
Our real estate agents still report an
active business. Cummings & Jones
in the past ten days have sold three
farms-one being an entire section
the Gear 40 acres, adjoining town, and
several pieces of property, the total
amount reaching the neighborhood of
ST., 900. Beatty, Buel & Co. have sold
the Graves farm in Elm township,
and the Ihrig house near the Baptist
church. Bostwick & Co. have sold
nine or ten quarter sections of League
land. w. G. Thrasher has sold G..
Schiessmayer's town property and the
other agents have important trades in
progress. Things are really q good
deal livelier than they appear on the
surface.
The ceremonies of Decoration Day
will be observed as usual on Saturday
May 80. under the auspices of McCook
Post, G. A. r. Hon. E. II. Funston
will be the orator of the day and the
exercises will be impressive and inter-
esting. The uniformed divisions of
the Knights Of Pythias and the A. O..
U. w. have deem invited to take part
in the procession, and will doubtless
accept the invitation. AS the Select
Knights alone now number nearly 40
men, the display will be unusually
handsome. The procession will form
promptly at two o'clock and will march
to the cemetery where the subse Quent
exercises will take place.
Jesse Shinn got an economical streak
on him the other day, and concluded
he would save a dollar by painting
fan shaped trellis, himself. He had
the paint, but paid % cts. for a brush.
The first break he made was to break
board, that cost him 60 cts. The
rext was to ruin, with paint, a $500
hat. After this he proceeded to scatter
paint on pair of new breeches. He
estimates that this streak of economy
cost him 500. The next time he has
any painting to do he will hire a pain
